Erbaviva has spent the last decade creating natural, organic skincare products for the entire family to love.  What’s more, the fabric packaging and basketry come from sustainable farms in Thailand and Burma which help support an indigenous tribe. Their Baby Soap contains quality natural ingredients like pure milk, honey and essential oils of lavender… mmm… which are blended together to enhance the creamy rich lather.  www.erbaviva.com
